Where the hell are the divas?

Member

It seems that the Divas are getting matches on either WWE Superstars, Saturday Morning Slam, ?or just pre-show dark matches while not appearing on neither RAW, SmackDown, or WWE Main Event (the Royal Rumble ?PPV had no Divas match, either). Your thoughts?

They know their diva division sucks, so why risk the rating drop and put them on Raw and Smackdown. I think when Kaitlyn and the rest of the divas are ready they'll be brought back. Either that or they're just bringing new divas in. It would be nice to see a divas invasion angle with the current divas vs the divas they bring in.

The company is showing how little they care about developing the Divas division based on its current standing. I'm not sure what bringing the new talent from NXT is going to do if they don't invest enough time in developing proper rivalries, quality matches, and storylines for them. Just like the rest of the Divas their talent will be wasted and ultimately be reduced to the eye candy of the WWE Universe. It's a shame since they've all trained to be great wrestlers too but they aren't being taken seriously at all.

They lost 2 of their best workers in the latter part of last year, they need to replace that talent. Bringing in Paige and a couple of other girls beefs up the roster, and presents new feud opportunities.

And he is not talking about Kelly. Just to clear that up to any poor unfourtunate soul thinking that.

I understand that's probably why they're not being booked on Raw and Smackdown for matches but even when they had Eve and Beth Phoenix the storylines were lackluster. It's not like the feuds are going to improve overnight just because they bring in new talent. First of all the company has to develop some interest in creating quality feuds for the Divas in the first place. They should want to generate interest in it regardless of who they have if they care enough about the division.

Which is why they're letting the other girls develop on NXT for now, there are only 4 girls I can think of on the main roster, how many feuds can you have? After the younger girls are ready in the eyes of management, they could come up as an Nexus type faction with Paige in the role of Barrett, to take on the regular girls. An easy way to introduce a bunch of new people at once and transition them into main feuds.

With WM right around the corner, they are focusing on feuds/matches that people care about. Not many people take the Divas seriously anymore and Vince knows this. My guess is we will see more Divas matches after WM.
